Sandown Park Race 5 - Sandown Vet Clinic
MY DEAR FRIEND (2) was unwanted in betting when starting from the same box but ran very well, finishing in the minors over 545m at Ballarat in a Grade 4/5 in 30.80. Worth following up. BANDIT DARYL (5) goes very well this trip starting 12 times for four wins and six minors. Hit the frame latest (34.83) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Looks well placed here and among the chances. TO PERU (1) had won two in a row before finishing fifth (34.86) last time at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from four attempts. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. ZIPPING UNA (8) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Hit the frame last time at Ballarat but the start prior was a dominant winner scoring by 8 lengths in a Mix 6/7 at Warrnambool and recording a brilliant 25.22 over the 450m journey. Looks the one to beat on win two back.

Just been plugging away and needs to improve after being unplaced in four tries. Last start 7th over 600m at The Meadows. Happy to risk this time.

Finished in the minors at big odds last time when third (35.06) at this track, making it two placings on end. Awkward draw to overcome. Looking to others.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (22.80) at big odds over 400m at Warragul. Boxed out wide but is among the better hopes.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (34.57) at big odds over 595m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and will need everything to go her way.
